What customers say
Barley Meadow Touring Park is consistently praised for its spick-and-span cleanliness, generous pitches, and top-notch, modern facilities. The adult-only rule adds to the serene vibe, helped by friendly, helpful staff. Great spot for exploring Dartmoor and beyond, with a neat dog field. Highly recommended for a chilled getaway.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked We stayed one night on an electric hardstanding pitch and were really impressed! The site is peaceful, beautifully kept, and the facilities were spotless. The owners were friendly and welcoming, and it’s in the perfect spot for exploring Haldon Forest or Dartmoor. We’ll definitely return for a longer stay!

Aires overnight (roadside) electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Great location. Nice, small site that's very well maintained. Great, clean facilities. Nice, secure gate that uses number plate to let you in. Friendly staff and free WiFi that was pretty decent!
Disliked The noise of the roadside is a bit of a negative, but it's infrequent and I began to not notice it.

From the manager: Cheers Ben for your great review. Please note that you did book a Roadside Aires Pitch which is priced slightly cheaper as you are closer to the road, which is why you will have noticed the road noise. We are pleased to see that you have enjoyed your stay with us and have said you would return. Best wishes from Leigh and David
One of the best sites I’ve ever been to and will definitely return.
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Barley Meadow is quite simply the site you would design and build if you could. It’s well laid out, well maintained, clean and respected by all the visitors. The hosts are welcoming and the whole experience was absolutely top draw. Toilet/ shower block was immaculate though if the site is full it might get a little busy at rush hours.
The sky scape at night is stunning.
Disliked Copped a westerly in the awning one day and gravel pitches don’t hang on to pegs too well I found!! But that was my error. Advise serious pegging kit if you have awning plans.

Liked Amazing space for adults, clean, tidy and relaxing.
Lovely farm shop a stones throw away. If you are a keen walker the walk to castle drogo takes 1hr 10 minutes and the views from the surrounding Tors there are amazing

An excellent site in all ways Would happily return but far from home
Aires overnight (roadside) electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked The situation: in proper countryside but easy access from A30, with a very short walk down a path to a farm shop and a strenuous mile to the nearest pub!
Pitches were level.
Friendly welcome.
Site very well maintained with lots of hedges to give a bit of privacy and plenty of space. All facilities in good working order.
Sparkling clean toilets and showers.
Very good value
Free wifi.
